Abstract
We describe the implementation of a translator from the algorithm description language ALDES to Common LISP. ALDES is the language of the SAC-2 computer algebra system. We indicate why this translation is beneficial. By giving examples we also show how the translation was made.

Concurrency, Specification and ProgrammingParsing Expression Grammar (PEG) encodes a recursive-descent parser with limited backtracking. The parser has many useful properties. Converting PEG to an executable parser is a rather straightforward task. Unfortunately, PEG is not well understood as a ...
Down with Emacs Lisp: dynamic scope analysis
It is possible to translate code written in Emacs Lisp or another Lisp dialect which uses dynamic scoping to a more modern programming language with lexical scoping while largely preserving structure and readability of the code. The biggest obstacle to ...
Converting dependency structures to phrase structures
HLT '01: Proceedings of the first international conference on Human language technology researchTreebanks are of two types according to their annotation schemata: phrase-structure Treebanks such as the English Penn Treebank [8] and dependency Treebanks such as the Czech dependency Treebank [6]. Long before Treebanks were developed and widely used ...
